and trembled like an aspen leaf as the
searchers moved around in the little room
he has occupied so long. Suddenly two OF
three officers jumped out to the corridor,
while Che third man held at arms length
d small wooden box, which he carefully
carried to the office of the jail and laid
on Jailor Folz's desk. The box con-
tanned four pisces of gas pipe, each about
six or seven inches in length, filed with
some heavy substance, and plugged at
the ends. Jailor Folg picked up one of
the pieces Of gas pipe, which was closed
at one end with a round iron stopper,
and was proceeding SO examine it when
Officer Osborne, who was sit
ting near by, reading a morning
paper, stepped forward, and discovering
the strange looking bits of iron, ex-
claimed. MY God, Mr.. Folz, handle it
carefully That's a bomb!n Just then
Sheriff Matson arrived at the Jail, and
ordered that the dangerous weapons be
replaced in the box n sent to a chemist
for analysis, though there was no doubt
that She four pieces of gas pipe were YER
TABLE dynamite bombs. The search OF
the other cells was continued, but moth
ing more of any Importance was found.
IL was decided, however, that it was beat
to put the anarchists in new cells, and
accordingly apartments on the lower tier
of the Jail were made ready for them.
No. IL, which is directly In front Of the
entrance to the jail and between two rows
Of iron gratings, in which space three
inen are on guard night and day, was as

and Immediately upon entering his new
cell sat down and began to write, keep
Ing at work all day until it was too dark
to see. All the prisoners except Lingg
submitted to the search and change Of
quarters without displaying the slightest
emotion. Linsg seemed greatly worried,
and showed plainly by his manner that
something Was wrong. He was informed
of the discovery of the bombs. Shariff
Matson said In relation to the
discovery, I'VE had no reason to
make the search at this particular time.
That liz. we received no intimation that
anything was wrong. 1t was merely a pre-
captiopary measure, decided upon some
time ago, and we selected Sunday as a
quiet day, as the Investigation would
make aaess disturbance than it would ON
a week day The sheriff says in view OF
the developments of the search the most
precautionary measures will
now betaken. The prisoners will not be al
lowed to exercise as much as formerly,
and the number of visitors will
be restricted. If any interviews
arc granted with the prisoners
il viii only be to near relatives, and in
tas presence of 3 jaii officer. No oppor-
Ist9iity will be allowed for the exchange
Of anything whatever between the pris-
oners and outsiders. Ltngg will not be
allowed to see any one. The prisoners
viii be strongly guarded night and day,
2 2 special officer will watch each OF
them from this day to the day Of the ex-
ecation. The news of the finding Of tina
bombs spread like wildfire, and uni
yersal reaction Of the amnesty sentiment
was apparent throughout the city.
Thousands Of citizens who had signed the
petitions for clemency regretted their
action and wished they had never ap-
pended their names to the paper.
